Abstract
The eye is the most important sensory organ of the human body, and the cornea and anterior chamber are very important components In surgeries like vision correction, it is necessary to know the accurate corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth of human eyes. Their accurate measurement cannot only provide a reference for doctors, but also provide a strong guarantee of surgical results. In order to achieve high-precision measurements of human corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth, we develop an equivalent human-eye optical system and a measurement method for the thickness. This method designs an equivalent double-membrane system to simplify the physiological structure of the cornea and anterior chamber of the human eye and irradiate the double-membrane system through laser. The reflected light returns to the laser cavity and the original light self-mixing interference, and a photodetector collects and processes the interference signals to obtain the corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth. The correctness of the theoretical calculations is verified by the experimental system, and the measurement accuracy can reach the micrometer level.
